In preparation for the new school year, the city’s Public Safety personnel and Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department deputies hosted their annual “Safe-Walking Class” for students on Aug. 7. Deputies and staff reviewed practical safety tips with the students, such as the importance of being aware of your surroundings, looking left and right before entering an intersection, not being distracted by cell phones or headphones, and utilizing the services of crossing guards when available. A group consisting of 24 students and their parents followed deputies from the Paramount Sheriff’s Station to Lincoln Elementary School.
